Yes. Amazing that Hippocrates couldn't practice medicine today, nor Lincoln, law.
Ben Franklin did OK without any schooling too.
Maybe SHE won't value it as highly, and that's a pity. These folks act like if they don't get the opposing views handed to them on a silver platter by the University, that they won't be able to hear them anywhere. HELLO? The culture and the media is full of nothing BUT opposition to Catholic teaching. She ought to be glad that the University is willing to stand up unequivocally for its beliefs so that she CAN hear the Catholic viewpoint.
many don't know that catholic university IS a university. I didn't want people to ask me "what catholic university"
Oh, I see now. You weren't putting it in quotation marks to suggest that CUA isn't Catholic, but rather to point out that it is a university.

About time.
There are issues on which debate is acceptible (should CAFE standards be raised for automobiles, should guns be outlawed etc.) One is not disqualified from social respect on the basis of one's position on these issues.
There are issues about which debate is not acceptible -- should the mentally disabled be killed, should the Jewish race be destroyed. One should be disqualified from social respect if one endorses a position of this type.
There are legitimate positions on the pro-choice side -- who, if anyone, should be punished for an abortion, how to regulate it etc. Most of the prominent pro-choicers are not "pro choice" but pro abortion and should not be treated with respect.
The Nazis et al have the right to speak. Nobody has the right to give them a platform.
1. Yes, a campus should have people with non-Catholic views on campus to disuss their ideas.
2. However, there is an obligation in every such forum that the Catholic view is deftly presented and that, when appropriate, such view is clearly noted as the morally licit and Catholic view.
3. And: no honors of any kind to a pro-abort (an absolutely morally untenable view), an anti-Catholic bigot, a celebrated fallen away Catholic, or a celebrated crtic of the Church or its specific policies.
Bishop John W. Yanta is a true hero of the faith, along with bishops such as Bishop Fabian Bruskewitz, Archbishop Charles Chaput, and Archbishop John Donoghue (and others). It is deeply saddening to see moral cowards such as Egan, Mahony, and McCarrick appointed cardinals over real Catholics such as Yanta, Bruskewitz, Chaput, and Donoghue.
I agree, look what happened to Bishop Sheen, they shipped him to upstate ny, I think, and never made him a cardinal.
The Greensburg diocese is speaking out, alright! Kudos to this "small diocese", as the article calls it, approximately fifty miles east of Pittsburgh PA. That area has a strong Catholic presence, and an excellent Catholic college, Seton Hill.
Yes, for all the wonderful things JPII has done for the Church, he has left us with a legacy of both mediocre and lousy bishops. Much of this is due to JPII permitting Bernardin to be the "bishop-maker" in the U.S.
Bernardin
the "seamless garment" liberal democrat who makes the action of abortion (murder of children) equal to poverty.
Why denigrate this fine college when it accomplishes its mission to produce graduates with a God-centered worldview?
